Frosé @ Blue Bee Cider
Blue Bee released their newest frozen addition, Peach Madness. They are serving this dry and tart drink on its own, or you can add a sidecar of Firecracker (a dessert cider made with Virginia Gold Rush apples and fortified with eau de vie that has been infused with baby ginger) for extra sweetness and zing. Yum!
You can also get it to-go by calling ahead for pick-up.
Location: 1320 Summit Ave (Scott’s Addition)

Rosé Wine @ James River Cellars Winery
Excited for warmer weather? This bottle brings all those summertime feelings! The James River Cellars Winery rosé is light and fruity with notes of strawberry and grapefruit. It is a blend of 70% chardonel, 20% traminette, 3% chambourcin, and 2% muscat.
Prefer a canned option? You’re in luck! You can get it in 8.5 oz. cans of this very same wine for $7 each. Buy 2, get 1 free — but it’s worth noting that 3 cans comes to about one full bottle of wine, so tread carefully!
Location: 11008 Washington Highway (Glen Allen)
Hours: Monday - Saturday, 11 am - 7 pm; Sunday, 11 am - 6 pm

Frosé @ Byrd House
Visit Byrd House, the rooftop bar and pool located on top of Graduate, for a delicious frosé cocktail ($13) made with a blend of rose and strawberries. Byrd House also offers another frozen option — a Boozy Slushie ($12), which is a rotation of whatever they are freezing!
Location: 301 W Franklin St (Downtown)
Hours: Open seasonally, April - November — Sunday - Wednesday, 5 - 11 pm; Thursday - Saturday, 5 pm - 12 am

Lady Brambleberry RVA Rosé @ Brambly Park
If you haven’t heard already, Brambly Park is the two-acre urban winery, restaurant, and park that opened last year in Scott’s Addition — you can read more about it in our urban wine guide.
If you have tasted Brambly wine, you may know that their delicious Brambly Park RVA Rosé is currently sold out. No worries — they have their Brambly Park Winter Rosé ($20 for the bottle) that's just as tasty. This fruity, yet delicate rosé is made from Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
Location: 1708 Belleville St (Scott’s Addition)
Hours: Fridays, 3 - 10 pm; Saturdays, 12 - 10 pm; Sundays, 12 - 8 pm

Floral Frosé @ Beauvine Burger Concept
This frosty, floral frosé ($7) features the iced wine itself along with elderflower liqueur, rose syrup, lime, and lemon. The result is an almost dangerously drinkable wine cocktail it’s hard to have just one of!
Location: 1501 W Main St (The Fan)
Hours: Daily, 11 am - 12 am
